Mrs. General Bidwelrs Father Assassin
ated on the Street in Washinpton

hiis' UeheraI Esdwelfs Father Assassin
ated on the Street in Washington.
WASHINGTON, July 13th.-The most sem
satlonal murder in Washington since the
assassination of President Garfield was
committed this evening. Opposite the
northeastern end of the Treasury Depart
ment bullding Joseph c. Kennedy, attor-
ney and real estate agent, one of the Oldest
residents of Washington and a personal
acquaintance of many of the most promi-
nent people here, was murdered in cold
blood-apparently without provocation-
by John Daily, white Iaborer. A few
minutes before 5 o'clock Kennedy left his
office and crossed the street, where he
mailed several letters and started to take a
car. When within few feet of the car,
Daily, who had been lettering about the
corner for several hours, walked up behind
him, and, drawing a large, keen-bladed
knife, similar 10 those used by butchers in
killing hogs, ran IL into Kennedy's right
side, near the abdomen, with a vicious
lunge. He then gave it jerk sidewise.
BYsTANDERs PABALYZEp.
There was large crowd on the corner at
the time, but all were so horror stricken
for the moment that nobody moved.
Kennedy fell to the ground after giving a
cry of Murder" He groaned deeply, and
pointed to the murderer, who made no at
tempt to escape. The knife dropped out
of kennedys side as physician came up
THE ASSASSIN ARRESTED.
Mason, a colored watchman, seized DAILY,
who stood looking on apparently the most
unconcerned and self-possessed man in the
crowd. Kennedy expired five minutes
afterward, and the body was removed TO
the police station.
THE MURDERER's STORY.
The excitement rose rapidly, and the
crowd grew boisterous and threatened to
hang the murderer. Daily paid little at
tention, and refused to say why he COM
mitted the crime. Once, when provoked
by the crowd, he turned squarely around
and said Yes, | killed him d-n
him w He is man of about so years of
age, and apparently workingman. At
the station-h house he told a rambling, inco-
herent story about an affair, the general
purport of which was that Kennedy had
wronged his father years ago, and secured
property worth 81 600 for 5000, and refused
TO make restitution.
THE MURDERED MAN
Was about IS years old of an old Mary
land family, and one of the most respected
citizens of Washington. He was a grand
son of Ellicott, who, at the request of
Washington, surveyed the ten miles square
that was incorporated as the District of
Columbia. In 1859 and 1860 Kennedy was
Commissioner of Census, and was prom
inent politician in the early days and an ar
dent adherent of the old Wing party. For
a long time he edited the Franklin (Pa.)
Lntelligencer. He was an intimate friend
of ex-senator Conkling, Attorney General
Garland, W. w. Corcoran and large num-
Der of other people. He leaves an unmar-
ried daughter, Sallie Kennedy, son, JOS
Kennedy, and one married daughter, the
wife of General Bidwell, wealthy Califor-
